He realized that as long as he was doing what he was supposed to do, his being labeled success or failure by others really didn't matter.”

Vision wouldn’t be enough to bring transformation to me or others. Only by managing my thinking and shifting my thoughts from desire to deeds would I be able to bring about positive change. I needed to go from wanting to doing.”
